  This may or may not be a good trend...dare we foresee _Axlrosea_, 
_Hendrixsaurus_, and _Ledzepplinia_?  Worse yet, I've been in the field with 
an individual who insisted on listening to the same 2 Ziggy Marley tapes 
over and over and over and over again for 4 straight days...

  At any rate, I'm still waiting for some theropod worker to do the right 
thing and name a really large theropod _Calvinosaurus wattersoni_.
